Well...it was a rather strange meeting with my gyn. She said that I am not hormonal. She didn't opt to do any testing. She was finally convinced after I kept saying that I wasn't comfortable waiting 6 more months. The small increase in the fibroid was her only concern. She finally agreed to check with my insurance company about pre-certification to do a total laparoscopic hysterectomy but only because I insisted. Of course she needs a good reason to do the surgery. She said I wasn't bleeding and the ovarian cysts are small. If felt like a tennis match but she finally agreed.
Maybe I am being too cautious but I just want to have surgery now while I am still in my fifties and leaving these multiple cysts and a fibroid in me for years just increases the chances for cancer. Years ago there would have been no question to do surgery. Now they put it off because they find that in most cases there is no cancer. Ovarian cancer if missed is a deadly one. Why do I want to wait and take the risk at my age? I just don't.
So we will see if she can make the case for my insurance to agree.
